265/70r16 with 2.5" lift?

Could anyone running 265/70r16s with 2.5" of equal lift on a 3rd gen please share photos?

I've been looking into suspension and trying to decide whether to do the iron man foam cell pro 2.5" stage 2 lift, or a 6112/5160 which combined with UCA and AAL will cost me approx 1100 more then the iron man. (3300 vs 4400 installed)

Iron man also seems to be better reviewed in terms of overall ride quality, I'm just trying to figure out if running the stock 265/70r16 tire would look out of place enough that it'd bother me in the duration between me getting 265/75 or 285/75 in the next year or two as my current tires and wheels are practically brand new (had to replace the tires due to the sidewall on the OEM ones delaminating) although I could probably just go with the IM lift + 265/75 and still be under the cost of the billstein setup.

 

Lolwut?

 

I'm just teasing..I think it would look a little weird... Like skipping leg day and just getting buff.. but it's no biggie. Your truck.

why do you need a lift?

 

I'm looking for a little better approach and departure angle but primarily want suspension that handles better both on and off-road. The stock billstein 4600s leave much to be desired in reguards to how they react to potholes, gravel roads or speed bumps.

 

will lifting it make it handle better?

 

If the answer to the question “will it look small/ugly?” is what you’re looking for then the answer is yes. Many had gone this route of lift first then wait for the tires to wear it to get bigger tires. Most end up doing so ahead of time by selling their stock wheels/tires because of the way it looks with a lift.

 

Nah, the underlying build of the shocks involved in the lift will though. I'm far more interested in the shocks but it seems that almost EVERY shock upgrade from the 4600's involves some sort of lift. The best bang for the buck of performance and reliability I've found seems to involve a 2.5" lift.

 

It looks beyond goofy. I lasted a week with 265's after my lift before 285's went on.
Why not do the 6112 5160 set it to maybe 1" tops with the add a leaf maintain some of that factory rake. Skip the uca and put some 255/80r17's on if your wheels allow for it.
If you want to end up with 2.5" of lift be sure to factor in the front diff bushing angled leaf shims and or carrier bearing spacers. Lower lift bigger tires will perform overall better on the trail.

265's

285's

 

The stock shocks are not 4600 though.
